Exclusive: Crypto has become a major source of funding for Nigel Farage’s party, accounting for nearly 60 per cent of its total donations since 2024

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has received £20m in donations from cryptocurrency investors since the general election, The Independent can reveal.

An analysis of Electoral Commission data shows that a staggering 60 per cent of the right-wing eurosceptic group’s funding comes from wealthy individuals associated with the digital currency since the beginning of 2024.

The largest donations, totalling £15m, came from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, whose separate undeclared donation of £5m directly to Mr Farage is the subject of a parliamentary probe.
